As the headline says, yes, this is probably the best Chinese drama of 2022. Basically every part of this drama beginning to end was done flawlessly. You will laugh, cry, smile...EVERYTHING. The only bad thing this drama brought me is now that this drama is over I have very bad drama withdrawal. PLEASE DIRECTOR, RELEASE ADDITIONAL SCENES!!!!

One word I have for this drama is *satisfying*. Of course, the cinematography, the music, the costumes, the acting, the characters, etc. etc. was done extremely well (see my pt 1 review). BUT, what makes this drama stand out is how well the plot is executed. Characters act in a way that makes sense. Bad characters//the revenge scenes will bring you A LOT of satisfaction. Everyone gets the ending they deserve (okay...maybe not Yuan Shanjian (**cue the sniffing**) I actually kinda liked him LOL). I know a lot of people were complaining about the ending & how there was no official wedding scene, but I felt the ending was still very well executed. I've watched dramas that were excellent all the way up till the ending, and then the directing team/scriptwriters totally dropped the ball. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN LOVE LIKE THE GALAXY!!!! So for those of you who like to wait until dramas finish airing to begin them (dw, I totally relate), you can watch this drama in peace.

For those of you who wanted more romance, the second part of 'Love Like the Galaxy' definitely has wayyyyyyyyyyy more lovey-dovey scenes (but also lots of angst!!) than the first part. ALSO...Leo Wu Leo Wu Leo Wu <3333333 Literally love this man. I cannot imagine anyone else playing HBY/LBY. ALSO...Zhao Lusi Zhao Lusi Zhao Lusi she did absolutely AMAZING as Cheng Shaoshang. ZLS is actually such a versatile actress -- I am super excited to see her future projects. She's definitely an actress that will go far.

I'm actually so sad that this drama is over. It brought me some of my happiest moments in the last few months, and I am forever grateful to the 'Love Like the Galaxy' team for bringing the world such a wonderful drama. So, do yourself a favor and give this drama a try. I can promise that you will not regret it.
